A Young Man's Love of Carp Fishing
I would tell myself, "Just stop thinking, Glenn, you have a big day tomorrow; just close your eyes and get to bed." It was like the night before Christmas before every offshore fishing trip. But, like most anglers desperately searching for that trophy fish or the adrenalin that comes with it, I would always struggle to sleep the night before due to my excitement level. Whether landing a giant bluefin tuna or losing one 10' below, I enjoyed all of the thrills, good or bad, and couldn't get enough of it. I was part of a group of anglers that targeted large tuna and other pelagics on light tackle for many years. Fast forward 15 years, and those feelings are still there, but instead of me being the leading angler, I am now the mentor to my youngest son Tyler, and instead of chasing tuna, we are chasing carp.
